The Urban Freight Lab at the University of Washington is a living laboratory composed of academic researchers, public-sector agencies, and interconnected private-sector companies in transportation and logistics — retailers, carriers and shippers, infrastructure and operational technology providers, real estate, and vehicle and vehicle part manufacturers.

Our focus is on solving urban freight issues in an age when demand for ecommerce is exploding, emissions from transportation are growing, and improving equity and safety outcomes are critical goals for governments. We work on solutions around urban freight management to make operations more efficient and cities more sustainable and livable.

Since launching in 2016, the UFL has completed an innovative suite of research projects providing proven strategies to reduce dwell time and failed delivery attempts, decreasing traffic congestion, CO2 emissions, and delivery costs.
